Not a huge company like DO, but iwStack [1] provides a SAN backed cloud, with selectable KVM/XEN instances, custom ISO and virtual network support. The prices are similar to DO.

- vardump 11y agoThat's pretty damn interesting for more traditional hosting type usage. Seems like they sell 50 GB of real SAN backed storage for just 3.6€ per month. How can they afford to be so cheap?
- mappu 11y agoThat's not even particularly cheap per-GB - BuyVM ( http://buyvm.net/storage-vps/ http://buyvm.net/storage-vps/ ) will sell you 250GB for 7USD/mo. Disclaimer: happy customer

Except that is not SAN backed storage. From the website: > We only use RAID-60 drive arrays with a minimum of 16 drives That's somewhat scary. RAID-6 might be almost ok, but striped? No thank you. I bet they don't also have block level checksums.
- hyperknot 11y agoI think one of the reasons is that they only have a small number of datacenters, have a small number of (very friendly) staff and are not going after the mass market like DO, and I guess they don't spend anything on marketing.
